Irons ready to offload injury hit duo

West Ham’s patience with Andy Carroll and Diafra Sakho has now been exhausted and the club will consider any or all offers for both in the summer.

Carroll has been training all week and looks odds-on to appear at some stage in the match against Liverpool – a club with which it is believed he still feels he has a score to settle after being sold to the Hammers.

Long term, however, everybody has grown tired of the numerous and varied injuries he has suffered and the club  would now accept a knock down offer for him and cut their losses whilst making a heavy saving on wages.

There remains some interest in China but that is not a prospect which may appeal to the home loving Geordie.

Slaven Bilic has declared that he will have talks over the big striker’s injury record at the end of the season but ClaretandHugh has discovered that the club will sell if they get the chance.

However, like Sakho – who failed to appear at the awards night earlier this week – the club realise that offers are likely to be be few and far between.

Sakho’s back problem is now a serious worry to the striker who believed it had been sorted under surgery but with his contract ending in the June of 2018 there has to be a possibility of him departing the LS under a mutally accepted arrangement
